I tried every natural and over the counter therapy over the years after treatment ended, then finally asked my dermatologist. She prescribed Jublia for me. I applied it every night for about 10 months (can't remember exactly how long). It worked great. I still have a little raised area at the tip of my big toes, but all the dark areas are gone and the nails look pretty normal again. It's worth a try if all the other remedies failed, which they did for me.

Oh WOW! Thanks Donna. I'll get in touch with my derm!

I don't know what I would've done without you when I first joined this forum, and your helpful posts continue to provide much great information and support.

It is quite possible that you may get toenail fungus
after you go through chemotherapy. This is very strong treatment especially
done to treat cancer patients. This treatment affects your body and health a
lot. So, if you have gone through chemo and now suffering from toenail fungus
issue then it is better if you try some natural treatments or home remedies.
But, you can also try some ayurvedic treatment as well that can help you treat
toenail fungus infection. You can know some ayurvedic treatments to treat
toenail fungus and get rid of this issue forever.

It is quite possible that you may
have toenail fungus after you go through chemotherapy. But, do not worry
because you can easily cure toenail fungus infectionwith the help of some
natural home remedies and non-surgical treatments.

Donna,

Like
you in the beginning, I started with a very good (well pricey) Tea Tree
Oil. I let it soak in and then sealed it with Mentholatum- Vick's.

This
winter has been so cold, everything dries out and it's constant
maintenance of skin, feet, hands- all nails, even hair dries out some.

Finally the upper 2/3rds of the tip of my big right toenail loosened up enough to fall off in my sock. Yeah, I know. *gag*

Since
my old derm retired, and I didn't make the effort to find a new one, I
kept trying this my way- it's only my right big toe. My nails on my
hands are nice as long as they are kept moisturized, and they never
developed, or haven't developed fungus like my one big infected toe.

I
think it's time to find a derm, and will ask about Jubila. I even did
several Tea Tree soaks, but this brutal winter made it hard to keep up
with the dryness. Now I have a missing toe nail- at least the 2/3rds
from the tip down. Underneath is some darkness which I'm able to scrape
off - which was a relief. It's not painful at all like it was in the
beginning.

Sorry to be so long and graphic. I'm not sure this is very helpful to anyone but me, just to unload. LOL.

Thanks once again for the name of a topical that actually worked for you. And very glad you're on the mend.

I tried Jublia. My doc said it only works for some. Its terribly expensive unless you get it at walgreens with their special if its still available. And get the 6 oz not the 3. will last longer. BUT did not work for me very well. I'm trying the vicks and toe fungus cream. See how that goes. I, too, only got it on one foot

My wife had the fungus under her big toe,after chemo, the chemo nurse recommended Vicks Vaporub, my wife put that repeatedly on the nail-base, where the nail starts, it kills the fungus as the toenail grows, just keep applying it, the new toenail will grow without the fungus.It takes about 4-6 weeks
